China New Standard Map: China released new map, Arunachal and Aksai Chin told its territory

internationaldesk:
China on Monday officially released the 2023 edition of its “Standard Map”.  Beijing’s move could heighten its tensions with Delhi.  The new map includes disputed territories including Arunachal Pradesh, the Aksai Chin region, Taiwan and its claims to the disputed South China Sea.  India has repeatedly stated that the state of Arunachal Pradesh has “always” been and “always” will remain an integral part of the country.
 The state-run Global Times said in a post on X (formerly Twitter), “The 2023 edition of China’s Standard Map was officially released Monday and launched on the website of the Standard Map Service hosted by the Ministry of Natural Resources….  ”  “This map is compiled based on the drawing method of national borders of China and various countries around the world,” the post said.
India has repeatedly told China that “Arunachal Pradesh was, is and always will remain an integral and inseparable part of India.”  The map also includes Taiwan's separate islands and China's claims to the Nine-Dash Line, which claims a large part of the South China Sea.  China claims Taiwan as part of its mainland and its unification with the mainland is part of Chinese President Xi Jinping's resolute objective.  Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan claim South China Sea territories.
 The new map comes after Beijing announced in April that it would “standardise” the names of 11 places in Arunachal Pradesh, including a town close to Arunachal Pradesh’s capital, Itanagar.  It was the third such list to “rename” places in Arunachal Pradesh, and was seen by observers as a reaction to India holding events in the lead-up to the G-20 summit in the state, which Beijing opposed  . . . .  Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to attend the summit in New Delhi on September 9-10.
